    My boss is my mentor. He does all 10... not only am i not wasting my money i am getting paid for it... over 1 million unfilled trade jobs, if they wont teach you, invest in you, help you, you either need to find someone else who will or check your own attitude commitment work ethic etc.

    If you soak an entire roll of toilet paper in it's packaging it's not doing to break down.....but I see your point.

    @@RogerWakefield They work fine, my wife and i will be retiring in about a year and a half and dont want to worry about water problems if that ever happened while we are gone. We plan at times to be out for a 3 month period or so. Why pay to heat up water if we dont need to.

    If you set your gas pilot to 'vacation' or similar setting that should work for you. However, if you're still wanting to change systems entirely tankless could be an option...check first with a plumber to see if you need to upsize your gas line before doing so.

    I trust solder more than anything else. That being said, I tend to propress in areas that will remain accessible (ie water heater hookups) and solder in tight spots or areas that will not be accessible later.

    Morning Rodger, I wanted to ask a question about joining the union. I am 30years old and looking to make a career change. I have multiple trades experience; Plumbing, Electrical, Carpentry etc. my wife and I are a little worried about the wage difference starting in the union at 15 an hour and the incremental increase each year. I’m in Cleveland Ohio and have yet to reach out the local union hall. Any advice?

    I installed a backflo preventor in a Lowe's and it started spitting out water from the vent just minutes after I turned the water back on. It's on a 3/4" line that feeds the misting system in the outdoor garden. Would hammering from the use of let's say the toilets and urinals cause this? If I installed a spring loaded check valve in front of the preventor would that eliminate the spitting?

    Roger I've never seen this repair device until today. Looks pretty good for a homeowner to get by until he can get someone to solder a repair coupling on. Side note. You really shot a mouse with a 50 cal using that impact wrench. That things gotta have 500+ ft pounds of torque.

    I'm not a fan of pex pipes. They don't work good for winner where I'm from. I like copper Soderen R brazen. I don't like sharp bites. I don't like pressed. There's nothing wrong with the old school way. Cause it works fine. The new stuff don't work with that great. Anything new these days? They engineer, even on vehicles. It's just garbage
